I installed Xampp on a Windows NT system. At the time I had IIS serving web pages. I've gotten the Xampp splash page and done the check which says that everything is up and running. If I run http://127.0.0.1 I get "Page not found"

In which folder do I serve web pages now? and how do I configure Apache?

I really need a "for Dummies" explanation of what to do now, because I'm really not that bright. In fact I have been diagnosed with light mental retardation, but I am able to accomplish a lot more than many smart folks because with pure determination I will keep going until I get it working if someone will help me.

make sure you uninstall ISS first. and then put your web pages into the htdocs folder and bingo ! eg. put a folder in htdocs like "test" and put a simple page into it and the goto http://localhost/test

Thank you for your reply. What is the location of the "htdocs" folder? Do I have to re-install Xampp after I uninstall IIS? What is the best way to completely re-install Xampp and just start over again (delete the Xampp folder is enough? or stop Apache and stop MySQL and then delete Xampp folder?)

Thank you.

you dont need to uninstall xampp just IIS and the htdocs folder is in C:\apachefriends\xampp or what ever drive you installed it into

Thank you so much. After some effort it worked. The confusion I discovered was that there was no way to uninstall IIS, because I think my computer was running Peer Web Services instead. I really do not know the answer, but I stopped the service and Xampp started working.

I am trying to install Xampp on Windows 2000, but it is not working. I get this error:

This is a different machine than the first one that worked. The first one was NT. This is one is Windows 2000 Server. I stopped the IIS services completely. I stopped the Windows Media Services. I started and stopped Apache and MySQL. I re-installed Xampp. It is not working.

I would please like to request any suggestions about steps I can take for troubleshooting, because I do not know what I can do next.

Yes, now I understand that it is the Internet Security and Acceleration Server that is interrupting my performance.

BTW: The cost for such a server you have is realy high. Why don't you want to use them and install XAMPP instead?

I do not know. I really do not know. I only want to use PHP and MySQL and otherwise I do not know how to get them working properly except with Xampp. I actually have no idea how to configure ISA properly. Please if you can show me the way, I will do it.
